Windows Defender Alway Allow/Permit Option

[Guest Mark R. Cusumano]

There is monitoring software on my computer that from time to time changes

information which Windows Defender flags and asks me what to do about the

changes. I'm only ever given 2 options, Permit or Deny. It never gives me

the option to Always Allow and I can't manually add the program to the list

of Allowed programs (which I think is a real flaw in the program). The

documentation says that the only way to add something to that list is to

select Always Allow then it comes up but I'm never given that option. Am I

doing something wrong?

Hello Mark,

 

I think you may have to work at excluding it from the scan, as an interim

measure.

 

Tools, Options, scroll down to Advanced options, and fill the box, by adding

the full path and file name to the Tools/Options/ do not scan box, hit the

add button, and Save.

I hope this post is helpful.

 

Let us know how it works ºut.

I also did not realize that I should scroll down. I never could figure

out how not to "permit" everything. Thanx for the info.
